This is going to be a short one

Hi Everyone!

Sorry, this email's going to be shorter because I'm almost out of time.

​(Translation: go through every day.. gorgeously)

The big news of the week is that President and Sister Teh are officially home, and President and Sister Card are now leading the mission! I haven't actually seen them yet though, since our 'Meet the President' meeting is tomorrow, so you'll have to wait until next week to hear more about that. I'm sure you're all on tenterhooks. I have corresponded with President Card once over text to ask for permission about a service opportunity, and from the 50 words he sent me, he seems pretty cool. Stay tuned for more.

This week we got to go on exchanges with Sister Dustin and Sister Galer. They are both amazing! Sister Galer's still in training, but they are both so happy and enthusiastic about missionary work that you would think they'd been doing it forever. Sister Hancock and I are campaigning for them to replace us as STLs next transfer.

​

We found a really cool new family this week! The dad is from Ecuador. The mom is Taiwanese, but grew up in Brazil. They met in college in Beijing, and now they live in Tainan with their adorable 1 year old daughter. They are seriously so amazing. They want to come to church because they want direction and guidance for their family.  We gave them a church tour, and ended up talking about the Book of Mormon and really briefly introducing the Plan of Salvation. The mom was really excited to hear that we don't believe in a hell, because she's always wondered how a loving God could send His children to a place of eternal suffering. The dad was very interested to hear about the Book of Mormon, because he'd always wondered why Christ didn't visit other parts of the world. It was really cool that we were able to start to answer two of their questions of the soul in our short chapel tour. We're super excited to keep teaching them!

We were craving blizzards the other day, so we got dinner at McDonald's. McDonald's in Taiwan is a much classier establishment than it is in America. That day, for some reason, they were handing out free toothpaste along our meals. Coincidentally, Sister Hancock had run out of toothpaste the night before, so Heavenly Father sometimes answers prayers before they're even said. 

​

We had one more cool experience this week. A couple of weeks ago, we started teaching this really cool lady named Brenda. Brenda is middle aged, super sassy, and was really excited about the gospel. She never showed up to our second lesson, and from then on only responded to our texts in one word answers or not at all. We had almost given up on her. Then on Sunday, we're halfway through sacrament meeting, when Sister Hancock looked behind her and recognized Brenda magically sitting several pews back! We rushed up to her after the meeting ended, and learned that she has a friend who is a member in a town nearby, who, upon finding that Brenda had been meeting with missionaries, insisted on accompanying her to church on Sunday. We're now all set to meet for lunch together next Saturday. Talking to Brenda, it's really cool to see how Heavenly Father has been preparing her to meet the gospel. She investigated the church when she was young. In the last month or so, she's independently run into and talked to about four separate sets of missionaries. I know that Heavenly Father knows His children!

Haha I guess this wasn't a super short email after all... sorry about that. I hope you all have an amazing week this week! Love you all!
